Mackie's Place
Mackie’s Place offers a safe space and resources to our youths most at risk. They offer a place where youth can come and learn valuable life and working skills. Some of those skills are learned in their industrial kitchen, making culinary meals and top-notch baking for the Pie Club, and in their cafe, learning barista skills.
MP operates out of multiple locations throughout the week. Drop-in nights on Mondays and Thursdays at their HQ, basketball on Mondays at Cedar Grove Church, and more!
Opportunities:
- Drop-In Nights take place on Mondays and Thursdays where volunteers can build long-term connections with the youth, provide encouragement, and support those in the Job Skills Program. Drop-in basketball every Monday evening.
- Employment Resources volunteers provide hands-on support by helping youth write resumes, practice their interview skills, and submit job applications.
- Pie Club drivers deliver freshly-baked pies to the Pie Club members once per month. Deliveries take place on designated routes throughout the Lower Mainland on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Fridays.
- Special Events: Annual Graduation Celebration, Youth Christmas Dinner, and Garden Party fundraiser.
